Week 10 Team Tracker

After the reorganization of the teams and two weeks of combined mileage, the new Insain Bolts team has overtaken the Easy Striders. The battle is close and just over 100 miles seperate the three teams, a small margine given the size of the new teams.

The Cobra Kai with some help from new team members established 2 new single week records in week 9 and 10 while the Insain Bolts new and improved team set the number 3 all time high.
Congratulations to the Cobra Kai on maintaining your position through the shuffle. We still have a long way to go.
